Joinery Mallet

This is a joinery mallet made from walnut, curly cherry, and hard maple. The head is held to the handle with a wedged through mortise and tenon joint. There are two bars of maple dadoed into the sides that reinforce the pieces of the head and the head to the handle. I consider this to be a medium duty mallet for mildly persuading chisels and carving tools or for general assembly use.
